the winning piece complete!

I finished the painting for Meghan, the winner of the drawing held in December!  She gave me a few clues to inspire me.  She wanted the piece for her bedroom which she just finished re-decorating in a romantic theme with red, purple, smoky topaz and chocolate throughout.  I asked her if she could travel anywhere where would it be: Paris.

congrats on winning the painting, Meghan and thanks for being a good sport about having your picture taken ; )....I hope you enjoy it!

and the winner is...

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this FUN drawing!  Having left my career to be a full time mom to our little girl and pursue my passion and degree in painting, certainly has had its share of challenges.  So, every ounce of support I receive is appreciated more than you know.  Life is so short and for it not to be fulfilled by what you love would be a failure I think.  So, I know that as long as I persevere and continue creating,  it will shine through and make me the happiest mommy on the planet. (not that I'm not already)...
